Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run
your vehicle in the garage while
programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas
can cause serious injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open
and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only
use this transceiver with a garage door
opener that has a “stop and reverse”
feature as required by Federal safety
standards. This includes most garage door
opener models manufactured after 1982.
Do not use a garage door opener without
these safety features. Call toll-free
1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at
HomeLink.com for safety information or
assistance.

If you do have a collision which deploys
the air bags, any or all of the following
may occur:
The air bag material may sometimes
cause abrasions and/or skin reddening
to the occupants as the air bags deploy
and unfold. The abrasions are similar to
friction rope burns or those you might
get sliding along a carpet or gymnasium
floor. They are not caused by contact
with chemicals. They are not permanent
and normally heal quickly. However, if
you haven’t healed significantly within a
few days, or if you have any blistering,
see your doctor immediately.
As the air bags deflate, you may see
some smoke-like particles. The
particles are a normal by-product of the
process that generates the non-toxic
gas used for air bag inflation. These
airborne particles may irritate the skin,
eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or
eye irritation, rinse the area with cool
water. For nose or throat irritation, move
to fresh air. If the irritation continues,
see your doctor. If these particles settle
on your clothing, follow the garment
manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air
bags have deployed. If you are involved
in another collision, the air bags will not
be in place to protect you.
Warning!
Deployed air bags and seat belt
pretensioners cannot protect you in
another collision. Have the air bags, seat
belt pretensioners, and the seat belt
retractor assemblies replaced by an
authorized dealer immediately. Also, have
the Occupant Restraint Controller System
serviced as well.
Note:
Air bag covers may not be obvious
in the interior trim, but they will open
during air bag deployment.
After any collision, the vehicle
should be taken to an authorized
dealer immediately.
Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact, if the
communication network remains intact,
and the power remains intact,
depending on the nature of the event,
the ORC will determine whether to have
the Enhanced Accident Response
System perform the following functions:
Cut off fuel to the engine.
Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power or until the hazard
light button is pressed. The hazard lights can be deactivated by pressing
the hazard light button.
Turn on the interior lights, which
remain on as long as the battery has
power or for 15 minutes from the
intervention of the Enhanced Accident
Response System.
Unlock the power door locks.
Turn off the Fuel Pump Heater
(if equipped).
Turn off the HVAC Blower Motor.
Close the HVAC Circulation Door.
Enhanced Accident Response
System Reset Procedure
After the event occurs, when the
system is active, a message regarding
fuel cutoff is displayed. Turn the ignition
switch from ignition AVV/START or
ON/RUN to ignition STOP/OFF.
Carefully check the vehicle for fuel leaks
in the engine compartment and on the
ground near the engine compartment
and fuel tank before resetting the
system and starting the engine.
Depending on the nature of the event
the left and right turn signal lights,
located in the instrument panel, may
both be blinking and will continue to
blink. In order to move your vehicle to
the side of the road, you must follow
the system reset procedure.

If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain a
start from a booster battery or the battery
in another vehicle. This type of start can be
dangerous if done improperly. Refer to
“Emergency Starting” in “In Case Of
Emergency” for further information.
Caution!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not
continuously crank the engine for more
than 25 seconds at a time. Wait
60 seconds before trying again.
After Starting —
Warming Up The Engine
Proceed as follows:Travel slowly, letting the engine run at
a reduced RPM, without accelerating
suddenly.
It is recommended to wait until the
digital engine coolant temperature
indicator starts to rise for maximum
performance.
Stopping The Engine
To stop the engine, proceed as follows:
1. Park the vehicle in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic.
2. Engage the PARK (P) mode. 3. With engine idling, press the
START/STOP button on the steering
wheel to STOP the engine.
Note:
Do not leave the ignition in ON
mode when the engine is off.
To shut off the engine with vehicle
speed greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), you
must push and hold the ignition or push
the START/STOP button three times
consecutively within a few seconds.
The engine will shut down, and the
ignition will be placed in the ON mode
With the keyless ignition system, it is
possible to go away from the vehicle
taking the key fob with you, without the
engine switching off. The vehicle will
inform about the absence of the key on
board, only if the doors are closed.
Stopping the engine (cycling from the
ON to the STOP position) the
accessories are still powered for about
three minutes, or until a door is opened.
When the ignition is in the STOP/OFF
mode, the window switches remain
active for three minutes. Opening a
front door will cancel this function.
After severe driving, idle the engine to
allow the temperature inside the engine
compartment to cool before shutting off
the engine.
Turbocharger Cool
Down
Before switching the engine off, keep it
idling for a few minutes so that the
turbocharger can be suitably lubricated.
This procedure is particularly
recommended after severe driving.
After a full load operation, keep the
engine idling for three to five minutes
before switching it off.
This time allows the lubricating oil and
the engine coolant to eliminate the
excessive heat from combustion
chamber, bearings, inner components
and turbocharger.

The gear selector is characterized by a
joystick-type operation, with automatic
return in the central position. It can be
pressed twice forwards and twice
backwards, based on the starting
condition.
The PARK (P) mode can be
enabled/disabled by pushing the PARK
(P) button.
To transition the vehicle into REVERSE
(R) mode from DRIVE (D) mode, or into
DRIVE (D) mode from REVERSE (R)
mode, it is necessary to move the gear
selector by pushing the gear selector
button.
When using the "sequential"
transmission, activate it by moving the
gear selector from DRIVE (D) to the left
and then forward towards the - symbol
or backwards towards the + symbol
and the gear is changed.To shift out of PARK (P), or to pass from
position NEUTRAL (N) to position
DRIVE (D) or REVERSE (R), the vehicle
must be moving at a low speed or
stopped, and the brake pedal must also
be pressed.
Note:
DO NOT accelerate while shifting
from position PARK (P) or NEUTRAL
(N) to another position.
After selecting a gear, wait a few
seconds before accelerating. This
precaution is particularly important with
engine cold.
Transmission Operating
Modes
PARK (P)
The transmission is locked in this mode.
The engine can be started in this mode.
Note: Never try to engage PARK (P)
mode when the vehicle is moving.
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure
this mode is engaged (letter P shown
on the display and gear selector) and
that the park brake is engaged.
When parking on a flat surface, first
engage the PARK (P) mode and then
engage the electric park brake.
When parking uphill, before activating
the PARK (P) mode, engage the electric
park brake. Otherwise, it could be
difficult to engage the (P) mode. To check that the PARK (P) mode is
actually engaged, make sure (P) is
illuminated on the display and on the
gear selector.
Warning!
Never use the PARK position as a
substitute for the park brake. Always apply
the park brake fully when parked to guard
against vehicle movement and possible
injury or damage.
Your vehicle could move and injure you
and others if it is not in PARK. Check by
trying to move the gear selector out of
PARK with the brake pedal released. Make
sure the transmission is in PARK before
leaving the vehicle.
It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or
NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher
than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly
pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could
accelerate quickly forward or in reverse.
You could lose control of the vehicle and hit
someone or something. Only shift into gear
when the engine is idling normally and your
foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.
Unintended movement of a vehicle
could injure those in or near the vehicle. As
with all vehicles, you should never exit a
vehicle while the engine is running. Before
exiting a vehicle, always apply the park
brake, shift the transmission into PARK,
and turn the ignition STOP/OFF. When the
ignition is in the STOP/OFF mode, the
transmission is locked in PARK, securing
the vehicle against unwanted movement.

STARTING AND OPERATING

When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the STOP/OFF mode,
remove the key fob from the vehicle, and
lock the vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the park brake,
brake pedal or the transmission gear
selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to
children), and do not leave the ignition in
the ON mode. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Caution!
Before moving the transmission gear
selector out of PARK, you must press the
ignition button to cycle from STOP/OFF
mode to the ON mode, and also press the
brake pedal. Otherwise, damage to the
gear selector could result.
DO NOT race the engine when shifting
from PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear
range, as this can damage the drivetrain.
REVERSE (R)
Select this mode only with the vehicle at
a standstill.
NEUTRAL (N)
Use this range when the vehicle is
standing for prolonged periods with the
engine running. The engine may be
started in this range. Apply the electric
park brake and shift the transmission
into PARK (P) if you must leave the
vehicle.
Warning!
Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn
off the ignition to coast down a hill. These
are unsafe practices that limit your
response to changing traffic or road
conditions. You might lose control of the
vehicle and have a collision.
DRIVE (D)
Use this mode in normal driving
conditions.
Shifting from DRIVE (D) to PARK (P) or
REVERSE (R) modes must take place
only after releasing the accelerator
pedal, with vehicle at a standstill and
brake pedal pressed.
This mode ensures automatic
engagement of the most suitable gears
for driving needs and maximum fuel
economy in terms of consumption. In this position, the transmission shifts
the gears automatically, selecting the
most suitable for forward driving among
those available as you go. In this way
the vehicle's optimal driving
characteristics are provided for all
conditions.
AutoStick
In the case of frequent shifting (e.g. for
sport driving, when the vehicle is driven
with a heavy load, on slopes, when
towing heavy trailers), it is
recommended to use the Autostick
(sequential shifting) mode to select and
keep a lower fixed ratio.
In these conditions, the use of a lower
gear improves vehicle performance,
preventing overheating.
It is possible to shift from DRIVE (D)
mode to sequential mode regardless of
vehicle speed.
Activation
Starting from DRIVE (D) mode, to
activate the sequential drive mode,
move the selector to the left (– and +
indication of the trim). The gear
engaged will be shown on the display.
Shifting is made by moving the gear
selector forwards, towards symbol – or
backwards, towards symbol +.

Brake/Transmission
Shift Interlock System
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake
Transmission Shift Interlock system
(BTSI) that holds the gear selector in
PARK (P) unless the brakes are applied.
This system prevents you from moving
the gear selector from position PARK
(P) unless the brakes are applied.
To shift the transmission out of PARK
(P), the ignition must be cycled to the
AVV mode (engine running or not) and
the brake pedal must be pressed.
Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock
Disabling
Only if strictly necessary (e.g. pushing
the vehicle, conveyor vehicle washing
systems) inhibit the automatic activation
of PARK (P) mode when stopping the
engine, or proceed as described below:
1. Car at a standstill.
2. NEUTRAL (N) mode activated.
3. Push the ignition button for at least
three seconds.
The automatic park brake engagement
function when the engine is stopped
can also be deactivated on the Connect
system by selecting the following
functions on the main menu: "Settings",
"Driver Assistance" and "Automatic
Parking Brake".
Important Notes
Failure to comply with what is reported
below may damage the transmission:
Shift into PARK (P) mode only with
the vehicle at a standstill.
Select REVERSE (R) mode, or pass
from REVERSE to another mode only
with the vehicle at a standstill and
engine idling.
Do not change between PARK (P),
REVERSE (R), NEUTRAL (N) or DRIVE
(D) modes with engine running at a
speed above idling.
Before activating any transmission
operating mode, fully depress the brake
pedal.
Note: The unexpected movement of
the vehicle can injure the occupants or
people nearby. Do not leave the vehicle
with engine running: before getting out
of the passenger compartment always
engage the electric park brake, select
the PARK (P) mode, stop the engine.
With the ignition device in the STOP
position, the transmission is locked in
the PARK (P) position in order to
prevent accidental vehicle movement. If
equipped with keyless ignition, do not
leave the key fob near the vehicle (or in
a place accessible to children), and do
not leave the ignition on. A child could activate the electric
windows, other controls, or even start
the engine; it is dangerous to select a
mode other than PARK (P) or NEUTRAL
(N) at an engine speed higher than
idling.
If the brake pedal is not fully depressed,
the vehicle could rapidly accelerate.
Only engage the gear with engine at
idling while fully depressing the brake
pedal. If the transmission temperature
exceeds the normal operating limits, the
transmission control unit may change
the gear engagement order and reduce
the drive torque. If the transmission
overheats, the display shows the
symbol. In this case, the
transmission could operate incorrectly
until it cools down.
When using the vehicle with extremely
low external temperatures, the
transmission operation may change
depending on the engine and
transmission temperature, as well as
vehicle speed. Activation of the torque
converter clutch and of the eighth or
ninth gear is inhibited until the
transmission oil is correctly warmed up.
Complete operation of the transmission
will be enabled as soon as the fluid
temperature reaches the predefined
value.
145

Driving Mode Deactivation
To deactivate any driving mode, simply
move the selector to any other mode.Note:
When the engine is next started, the
"Advanced Efficiency", "Dynamic" and
"Normal" mode selected previously is
retained. The system will reactivate in
"Advanced Efficiency", "Dynamic" or
"Normal" mode, depending on which
mode was selected before the engine
was stopped.
When the engine is next started, the
"Race" mode selected previously is
not retained. The system will
reactivate in "Dynamic" mode.
It is not possible to go directly from
"Dynamic" mode to "Advanced
Efficiency" mode and vice versa. You
must always activate the “Normal”
mode first and then select the other
mode.
ALFA ACTIVE
SUSPENSION (AAS)
— IF EQUIPPED
The vehicle's electronic suspension
management system is aimed at
optimizing the vehicle's performance.
The system continuously monitors the
damping of the suspension through the
actuator installed on each shock
absorber. The calibration of the shock
absorbers can be adjusted to the
conditions of the road surface and to
the dynamic conditions of the vehicle,
improving its comfort and road
handling.
The driver can choose, even while
driving, (only in "d" or "Race" mode),
between two types of suspension
calibration: a more sporty ride or a
more comfortable one.
By pushing the button, the system will
work with the shock absorber
calibration which favors driving comfort.
